Quoted: Trad Witchcraft is the name given for the witchcraft spells and ancient system of beliefs practiced in the British Isles and elsewhere for thousands of years. Actually, witchcraft is the name given to this system by the Christian church. Witches do not believe in the devil. For true Trad Witches, good and evil are not absolute or separate from one's actions, personal responsibility has always been very important for them. Witches, like Shamans, were leaders of ancient communities, people looked upon witches for healing, guidance and protection. Witches revere the natural world, and harness the power that exists in all things and all people, for witches, the natural world is sacred. Trad Witchcraft is not Wicca. Wicca was founded by Gerald Gardner in the late 1930's. It consists of Western European folk traditions, Eastern philosophy, and Cabbalism. Trad Witchcraft is the practice of magic spells, meditation, and ancient traditions that existed for untold thousands of years before the emergence of our modern world. The subject of trad witchcraft and Paganism is complex and very fascinating, and reveals much hidden and lost history. It is the story of a time when the Mother Goddess was a most important symbol in the psyche of peoples throughout the ancient world.This is a place where Trad Witchcraft can be explored objectively and open-mindedly. Where people can hopefully communicate their experiences and insight, and where people can learn something about a lost page in the history of human beings.
